Stupid ain't it, Rugby and Cricket fans don't have the same restrictions. Its not the 80's any more.

Sounds like discrimination to me ...Title: Re: Beer in the stands Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 15:53:02 Might be wrong, but I think you are even aloud alcohol on the coach on the way to rugby...

Those who want to get plastered will do anyhow before the game. Title: Re: Beer in the stands Post by: Batch on Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 15:54:37 I guess it the chucking of pint filled plastic cups they are worried about?
Title: Re: Beer in the stands Post by: Trashbat? on Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 15:54:43 The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985 is not applied to any other games or events, including Rugby Union & League, Cricket and music concerts even if they take place in football stadiums.
Discrimination of the highest order! Title: Re: Beer in the stands Post by: Benzel on Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 17:20:41 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2018083/Nick-Harris-Clubs-campaign-scrap-football-booze-ban.html
From my source.

Discrimination of the highest order! If people acted like animals when they went to watch other sports, there would be similar alcohol bans for those sports.
